Ann Arbor Pioneer girls hockey team skates past Livonia Ladywood 4-1

The Ann Arbor Pioneer High School girls hockey team scored the first two goals of the game, both in the first period, and went on to beat Livonia Ladywood 4-1 in Plymouth Saturday.

The Pioneers' Paulina Arsenault earned her second consecutive win in goal stopping 15 of 16 shots.

Jenn Brucksch opened the scoring for Pioneer on a scramble in front of the net just four minutes into the game. Hanna Sturgis made it 2-0 on a power play goal with three minutes left in the period off a one-time pass from Julia Franceschi. That goal would prove to be the game-winner.

Rachel Freeman scored an unassisted short-handed goal for Pioneer, the only scoring of the second period.

Ladywood picked up its only goal on the power play goal just over two minutes into the third period, but it was too late. Shelby Supica finished off the game by scoring off an assist by Beth Johnson with just more than four minutes left to play.
